Place a sheet or two of colored tissue paper over the foam. It is thin enough to be pierced by the fruit arranged on sticks and will both cover the foam and provide the tissue paper look of a floral bouquet. If you have some hanging over the edges, this can be "fluffed up" once the fruit arrangement has been made.
Can you tell this in your own words?
Place a sheet or two of colored tissue paper over the foam.
YOU GET THESE IN THE GREETING CARD SECTION AT YOUR STORE. A GREEN FOAM SHAPE AND 1 OR 2 OF THOSE LARGE PIECES OF SUPER THIN DECORATING PAPER. WRAP YOUR FOAM.
It is thin enough to be pierced by the fruit arranged on sticks
YOU HAVE SOME DECORATED STICKS. YOU PRESS THEM INTO THE FOAM. THIS HOLDS THEM TOGETHER.
and will both cover the foam
O.K. WE DID THAT SO THE GREEN DOESN'T SHOW.
and provide the tissue paper look of a floral bouquet.
THE EDGES OF YOUR PAPER POINT UP LIKE THE WAY THEY SELL FLOWERS WITH THE STEMS WRAPED UP.
If you have some hanging over the edges, this can be "fluffed up" once the fruit arrangement has been made.
DON'T CUT OFF THE EXTRA PAPER AT THE TOP. WAD IT UP TO HANG BELOW THE TOP OF THE STICKS.
Reply:cover the foam with a sheet or two of colored paper. the fruit arranged on the sticks can pierce the sheets of paper. both will cover the foam and give it the look of a floral bouquet. once the fruit arrangements have been made, the sheet hanging over the edges, can be fluffed up

What is the average cost per floral item for a wedding?
Please list cost for:
-bridal bouquet
-bridesmaid bouquet
-boutonniere
-corsage
-toss bouquet
What is the average cost per floral item for a wedding?
when I had mine done which was 2 years ago it cost me:
bridal: $150
bridesmaid: $95
boutonniere: $8
corsage: $15
as for a toss bouquet...I tossed my actual flowers so I didnt have this....and my flowers were orchids and lillies and roses...the bridesmaids were just roses and other little flowers and the guys had roses.
I could have however ordered the package that had bride bouguet...3 bridesmaid bouquets, flower girl basket, 6 boutinnieres, 4 corsages and a big centerpiece for like $550...but I didnt need all that.
Reply:It depends on if you're getting silk or fresh, having them made or making them yourself, AND what kind of flowers you want....My maid of honor and I are pretty crafty and we're making all of them ourselves, using silk 'blooms' that look exactly like the real thing. Five bridesmaids and groomsmen plus the bride and groom, all for under $120.
Reply:I chose the cheaper prices.
It all depended on which flowers I wanted.
Shop around.
bridal bouquet: $95 - $125
corsage/Boutonniere: $7 - $11
Reply:I am having my floral items made by the florist in the grocery store sounds cheesy but she does a great job. My sister had her flowers done there.And they were beautiful. So don't chuck that as an option.
roses cost 12.99 a dozen
boutonnieres cost 6.99 each
corsages (wrist) 6.99 (pin on) 9.99
My bouquets and my corsages are going to be made of pink and cream roses with cream freesia
Reply:It really depends on your area of the country, and what type of flowers you choose. But, the averages are these:
Bridal Bouquet: $100-175
B'maids' Bouquets: $45-75 each
Bouts: $8-10 each
Corsages: $10-15 each
Toss Bouquet: $35-50 (but most of my florists throw them in free).
Ask if anything is free like that when you meet with one. Some throw in cake flowers too for free if you don't need a ton; they just give you the leftovers from your other flowers.
You didn't ask about centerpieces, but they are varied a lot in price from $15-200 each depending on size and style.
If you have any specific questions about this, e-mail me!

Can you write this in your own words and make shorter?
Prepare the arrangement by pokeing the base end of a stick into the florist foam. The tricky part is to achieve the "floral bouquet" look. Try to imagine the fruits going up in a bouquet shape, with a pointed middle piece and with the bulk of the fruits layering out to the sides. Use your original; sketches and designs in this stage, but do not feel you have to follow them, follow your creative instincts first.

Are orchids very expensive to have in bouquets?
I'm looking for floral ideas for my wedding and fell in love with bouquets of just orchids and I'm looking at basing all my floral on orchids.....are they are a more expensive flower choice?
Are orchids very expensive to have in bouquets?
Orchids are some of the more expensive flowers, but they're in season in Florida through spring, so that's a good thing for you. Some species of orchids are less expensive than other, so you might consider using the cheaper variety.

Reply:Yeah They are the more expensive choice especially if you want them in an off season...
Reply:Yes, they are. But it depends upon the variety, too.
I had a mixed bouquet, with a few cymbidium orchids in it.
Reply:Depends on the season, just before Easter, they are plentiful, and rather inexpensive. In April, when supply is low, they want to charge $18-20 per head (unless you order hundreds).
Reply:it really depends on the season.. if they are not in season they are very expensive. But if that is what you like. You can have a bouquet with just a few orchids. Your florist would be the best call.
Reply:Yes, the flowers themselves are quite expensive. Also they need to be wired to be put into a bouquet, so it costs more to have your florist put them together. They are probably one of the most expensive flowers to have for a wedding.
Reply:I believe they are the most expensive flower you can buy! BUT- maybe have a few in your bouquet with some greenery and then have matching color OTHER flowers for other stuff.
Reply:They are beautiful, but I would ask the florist about how long they can stay without wilting. I think they are temperamental flowers.

Does anyone know where I can find a 30" raffia doll in Ottawa?
I checked Michaels and they do not have them and Multicraft do not have them in the 30" size. They were popular a few years ago when they were sprayed gold, wings added and a floral bouquet in the doll's hands. They were mounted on a base with a dowel to make her stand up by herself.

How can I grow a Peonie bush from a single flower?
Just wondering if its possible to grow a bush from a single flower I received in a floral bouquet. I was told if I cut off a piece of the stem and place in a glass of water, wait for roots to sprout, and then plant. That seems too easy. Thanks for any advice. Also, specific details would really be needed here, I'm very new at this!! Thanks!
How can I grow a Peonie bush from a single flower?
Hey. You can grow certain plants from cuttings or water-rooted twigs, but not peonies as far as I know. That would be like trying to grow roses from a bouquet. I once received a flower arrangement that had dried corkscrew willow branches in it. When I went to throw out the flowers, there were fine hair roots on the twigs so I potted them, watered and nursed them for about six months, then planted the sturdiest ones outside. Lo and behold, five years later I have the most gorgeous 12-ft high tree in my side yard. You can do this with any type of willow and gardenias. Other plants have to be cut at an angle, then have powdered root starter put on them and have to be watched carefully. It's fun when it works out though. We live on 3 acres and I've cloned a lot of plants and trees.
